of the house fail so miserably to win support for his own measure. he couldn't figure out what was on his own caucus, and so that means that the president is really not negotiating with anybody who can really make a deal. he can't -- you know, he can't cover any check that he writes at the oval office. i mean for weeks now on this show and others, you know, people have been talking about deals and chris mass use always getting on me for being a debbie downer. the real issue is whether boehner can bring along members of his caucus for anything and we saw last night that he really can't and it puts everybody in a tough position, but the president does end up, i think, with a more reasonable upper hand. >> well, david -- >> but the other thing i would alert you to is once they get through this, think what happened last night and what's happening this week is really a bad -- a bad omen for what the republicans might try to do once again on the debt ceiling in january or february. >> let me ask you about an interim step because president obama argued tonight both parties can agree that taxes on th

as "zero dark 30." i think "zero dark 30" earns every minute. i think for a lot of people les miserable will drag. it has this terrific innovation tom hooper. >> singing live? >> seen that? the infomercial playing in theaters. it's really quite a break drive-thru and one of those things that you sort of don't notice what you have been missing until you see it, you know, when you watch musicals they are very rarely close-ups on somebody singing because they are not actually singing. they are lip synching and the close-ups are powerful, somebody ing their voice in song on for a long, extended shot. my view is that it's a really valuable innovation but as so often happens, tom hooper falls too much in love with it. the second or third time you see somebody singing in tight closum and the 23rd time you see it, it's lost some of its power. >> bill: we can't run out and see "zero dark 30" this christmas season but what is out there now that you think is absolutely worth a night out? >> i think les miserable is if you are a fan of the musical. if you are someone who

of snow. new york city through southern connecticut, cold, damp, and at times, miserable rainfall. and the thunderstorms will roll across parts of the south today, as they had v last night. 44 degrees in chicago. a chilly, raw 46 degrees in new york city. and, john, up in connecticut, a few degrees cooler in that, as you're enduring right now. back up to you. >> thanks, rob. as you mentioned, it is a gray, rainy day here in newtown, connecticut. fitting. funerals will be held today for two of the children killed in the sandy hook school shooting. last night, president obama attended an interfaith memorial service, in his role as comforter in chief, as the community tries to move on in tragedy. >> we ask god to grant those lost a special place in paradise. and we ask the families to be able to endure the undurable. it is in these times of loss that we seek the comfort of our creator. and that faith reveals mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. >> we will go on. we will find strength. faith is a gift, as is our ability to support one another in our greater comm

for producing an anti-bullying video. >> when you get bullied as a child, you feel miserable and unwanted ?oomple the san francisco district attorney's office sponsored the bye-bye bullying contest. students submitted 58 films designed to discourage bullying. a team from st. ignatious high said bullying is a hot topic on campus. >> there's been a number of suicides. it was almost more than a contest for us. it was like we're representing our school and supporting a very serious issue. >> the winning teams took home a number of prizes including an ipad and a baseball signed by barry zito courtesy of the san francisco giants. a sacramento man is being evaluatedded after claiming he attacked his daughter with a chainsaw. the man called 9-1-1 about 7:00 a.m. today reporting that his daughter was dead. when police arrived, he had barricaded himself inside his apartment. he was holed up there for three hours until police used tear gas to flush him out. when they entered the apartment, police say they were relieved to find no evidence of a chainsaw attack. the man's daughter was of not there and

, lonely, miserable future to which his greed and selfish view of the world is taking him. in the next weeks, president obama has to be the ghost of christmas yet to come. he has to show the republicans how horrible it will be to be them if they don't change their path. he has to show them how disrupted and frightened the world will be, how bad they will look in that world beyond this december 31st if they hold true to a tight and jealous protection of wealth. the reason the president must be the ghost of christmas yet to come is stark. unless he shows them the future now, we will be in that future, we will be together, this country of ours, over the precipice. we'll be holding on to our economic life by the most precarious of lifelines. the fast diminishing faith of the world money markets. we will be a still-great country

attended a similar launch back in april. that one failed miserably. these new satellite images indicate snow may have slowed the north's latest launch preparations but analysts say it could be ready for lift off as early as monday. the head of the u.s. pacific command says the navy has moved woreships into position in the region to track and possibly defend against that planned launch. plus a teenager fighting her school district's new i.d. cards. they have locater microchips that can track students wherever they go even in the bathroom. she says you can't do that. my religion says you can't do that but the school district says the devices can bring in millions of much needed dollars. the debate over privacy and religion now on its way to federal court and it's coming up as fox reports live tonight. this holiday, share everything. share "not even close." share "you owe me..." share "just right." the share everything plan. shareable data across 10 devices with uimited talk and text. by htc for $49.99. we don't let frequent heartburn come between us and what we love. so if you're one of t

that the conflict in afghanistan will be seen as anything but a rather miserable failure in the end? >> i think it will be. actually, it will be interestingly and maybe more positively paired with the war in iraq, being a discretionary war the u.s. undertook on the basis of incorrect information. i think the war in afghanistan it was undertaken for almost noncontroversial reasons within the united states. direct retribution for the attacks of 9/11 and where taliban al qaeda was at the time. i think the debate will be did the u.s. get distracted by afghanistan by the iraq venture and another way to wind it up than the one we have? it's interesting in the presidential campaign concluded there's so little debate about this with so little appetite on either side of the political divide to stay there longer, increase the bet and i think seen as a sadly concluded affair and we got in to it for understandable reasons. >> christin, something else on the fiscal cliff. a drop in confidence and zero u.s. economic growth with no agreement on this fiscal cliff and indeed a ripple effect in the eurozone and

. having to talk about the case day after day. it is absolutely miserable to me. i always tell people, imagine having to talk about the worst thing that ever happened to you over and over and over. but at the same time, if we don't keep doing it, we will have that stigma hanging over our heads. we have to keep letting the state of arkansas know we're not going anywhere until you do the right thing. >> how important to you and powerful to you has it been to have lori's unequivocal backing and support to you. >> i couldn't have survived in prison and out of prison without her. when i con take another step when i felt like i couldn't go on, it was her. she is what would carry me forward, mentally, emotionally, spiritually until i could walk again. >> it is good to see you again. >> thank you. >> i wish you the very best, all of you, with the documentary. it is a very powerful film. i urge people to see it. they still have no real idea what this is all about, and to understand just how far you've come and what you've had to go through. it is called "west of memphis" coming out december. t

the virginia tech miser that killed 32 people. survivors and relatives of the victims of another recent mass shooting at a movie theater in aurora, colorado, called on lawmakers to take steps to prevent gun violence. >> the most ardent gun supporters have always recognized it is about keeping the guns out of dangerous people. if you respect law-abiding citizens' right to own firearms it only works if you do have a way of keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals and dangerous folks. >>gregg: new york mayor issued a statement calling the proposal a "shameful evasion of the crisis facing our country." james has the news live from washington, dc. james, as fox reported this week, the n.r.a. sought to broaden the we dialogue beyond gun control? >>reporter: in bushing back against the gun control lobby, he launched a defense of gun ownership asking why we sanction the use of guns do protect politicians in sports stadium but not our school children and at the same time he offered a searing indictment of violent movies and video games and the corporations that profit. >> isn't fantasizing about

a one year contract with the japanese team. and no surprise here, "les miserables" opening was far from miserable. it grossed $17.5 million on its one day holiday debut. and not far behind, quinn ten tarantino's film with just under $11 million. so it sounds like a lot of people spent yesterday at the movies. >> i'm going to see both. >> like when we have time. >> yeah. what an epic. those sweeping pictures. >> and it has some great names. looking forward to it. on my list, as well. >>> president obama's christmas vacation will be over in a matter of hours. we'll have the latest inside information on whether he'll get a deal or more frustration when he arrives back here in the nation's capital.

didn't the differents of economics seems to be clear. that field that done miserably is macroeconomics and financial economics. these repeals of marc -- macroeconomics had the view that bubbles don't exist. that are efficient. it was the central doctrine of the large part of the macroeconomics. they have models used by central banks which there were no banks. it was very pee call already. how could a central bank talk about macroeconomics without banks? well, they did. and the predictions were very bad and the ability to respond to the crisis once it happened was not very good. when it happened they would make statements like don't worry, the crisis is contained when obviously it wasn't. in my mind, as we look across the field, the big failure was in macroeconomics and finance and the financial markets had all these properties and, you know, a lot of people actually believe the models. that was really the big mistake. both in the public and the private sector there was consequences. >> and if you did read the bocks or the old -- the odd thing is if you had a view of macroeconomics base

. >> exactly. exactly. >> i am a miserable atheist leave me the f alone. >> maybe that's what they should do. speaking about war, is the war on susan rice over? and did she win? >> well, look that war is not over, but the situation where like the guy is in okinawa in the coughs, it was over when it started. they never had a chance against her. if the president wants her and i think now he is going to have to nominate her and she will get confirmed and they are going to look back in the processes of trying to tear her down. they are looking bad now. yeah they show no signs of letting up. i don't know if you saw this. >> she's one tough cookie, too. >> yeah. >> i know. >> they are like spit bawling weird stuff. first, she is this, you know, she's got sharp elbows temperament and rick grinnel was on cnn talking -- fox. sorry. he was on fox news talking about how, oh, no, she is too afraid to speak up because she wants to go to dinner parties? which is it? is she like a bull in a china shop or a timid little party girl? >> bill: here is what gets me, the war on s

at the end, a cold, lonely miserable future in which his greed and future is taking him. president obama has to be the ghost of christmas yet to come. he has to show the republicans in the house how horrible it will be to be them come the first days of january if they don't change their path. he has to show them how disrupted the world will be, how they will look in that world if they hold true to a tight and jealous protection of wealth. the reason the president wants to be the ghost of christmas yet to come is stark. unless he shows them the future now, we will be in that future. we will be together. this country of oursç over the express precipice. we will still be a great country that can no longer be relied upon to act great. i really don't want to be

better for them. they suffered miserably after the july 2011 standoff. and so i get that this is a bad situation for republicans. but i don't see the call cue louse behind saying if we can just threaten the credit of the united states government all things will be great for us. >> they did trillion plus cuts last year. it's not easy to find things anybody will cut. if you keep doing this and have to cut another trillion you run out. >> they want to do this to pursue really unpopular policies. like reducing social security benefits. >> remember this is no longer. the president ran on that message, which is a testament to how far we've come since george h. w. bush. i'm wondering where norquist goes into this? if they raise taxes, no matter what is around it. does he still have clout in the gop? >> i think he ends up drinking a strong glass of merlot. >> i'll never do it again. >> right, right. listen, it seems clear at this juncture that the pledge will be broken. if it's not via the bush tax rates it are be via the tax cuts. i don't know what this means for his long term clout. in the s

to reconnect with god. les miserables is about a man's conversion giving up himself so others can succeed. >> look. different faiths have had their own problems, catholic church included with tarnishing their own brand. but let's talk about some of the positive nonpolitical, what pope benedict said in his christmas homily. broadcast around the world in dozens of languages and he speaks several languages and it was about how we don't make room for god if we're self focused. i thought that is a strong statement given what happened with reality shows. and how a lot of us are addicted to mirrors and miss a lot. >> do you know what? i thought if reading it in full context it was green. the sound byte taken out of it is we're too full of ourselves for god. it appears the church message is negative. we're no good. what i love so see is put it in a positive context. there is a way to tell people they need to do better without being too full of sthechlz saying but this is how you can be better. don't give critics an in to that kind of critique. >> i hear what you're saying. you can pull out a line
